\n<\/td>		you need a separate SSR as Ramps 1.4 does not provide enough current<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
200mm x 300mm<\/td>300+ W<\/td>You may need a separate PSU or move to 24V PSU <\/td><\/td>may require changes to Ramps 1.4 board<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
300mm x 300mm<\/td>450+ W<\/td>You need 110V(220V) heat panel, SSR DC to AC 25A and be very careful as moving pate will have wires with high voltage.<\/td><\/td>This is not recommended configuration since wires with high voltage will be constantly bended by moving bed, failure in wires may cause electrical shock. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
